Isaac Hayes can suck my chocolate salty balls...

[phit_demon]

Well, folks, South Park returns to our screens tomorrow, and it looks like they're gonna go straight for Shaft's jugular:
(taken from www.southparkx.net)

"The launch of “South Park’s” 10th season is marked by the triumphant homecoming of school chef, Jerome McElroy. “The Return of Chef!,” premieres Wednesday, March 22 at 10:00 p.m., only COMEDY CENTRAL.

The town is jolted out of a case of the doldrums when Chef suddenly reappears. While Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are thrilled to have their old friend back, they notice that something about chef seems different. When Chef’s strange behavior starts getting him in trouble, the boys pull out all the stops to save him."

I'm not sure if he recorded his lines before he quit the show, but I doubt it, as episodes are made four days before the show airs. I hope they get someone completely inappropriate to do his voice...just to twist the knife a little.

[karmattack]

I saw this on Dark Horizons earlier today and wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning, but I will just in case:

Isaac Hayes Still On "South Park"
Posted: Tuesday March 21st, 2006 11:06pm
Source: TV Guide
Author: Garth Franklin

Isaac Hayes did not quit his gig voicing South Park's Chef over some Scientology flap reports TV Guide.

FoxNews.com has deemed it "ridiculous" that the singer, who has been recovering from a stroke suffered in mid-January, would all of a sudden turn against the show for poking fun at his religion. Those close to Hayes are said to be "mystified" by the statement released March 13 and attributed to him.

Meanwhile he Scientology-skewering "Trapped in a Closet" episode, pulled last week amidst allegations that Tom Cruise had intervened, will air this Wednesday.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

I read that this episode is in response to Hayes quitting the show. And, they only had six days to pull this off.

And for those who haven't seen the Scientology episode, you can view it (for free) at www.thesuperficial.com

[Dave]

Oh, a link to the Superficial, what's next one to Tyler Durden? (i kid, both sites are on my first thing AM surf detail.)
I thought i read somewhere today, taht Hayes had a stroke, and while he was recuperating, some of his Scientology "watchers" quit for him. (i think that was the jist of the Fox News article)

[By-tor]

And for those who haven't seen the Scientology episode,

[BAMSS04]

Jesus, they were pissed off at Issac!

They really let him have it.


I loved the Star Wars ending.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

That was the most disturbing episode I've ever seen.... Please remind me not to piss off Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

[BAMSS04]

I laughed like every once in a while, but for the most part I just sat there looking as though I were hit by a truck. South Park still has those lines that make me laugh.

Like:

"I thought the Super Adventure Club, just went on adventures"

" No, thats the adventure club. The SUPER adventure club has sex with young boys."

"Oh? OHH, thats right. Ok."

and

" Now boys pay attention! " Oh, oh yeah!"



They crack me up.


Looks like it will be a good season!

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Yeah, the episode was shocking as hell. I felt dirty watching it, but I understand why they did it.

I liked the burning bridge bit, before Chef falls. They said a lot in that episode, especially the "I don't blame him; I blame the fruity little club that scrambled his brains."

[TLS]

I saw the episode. Wow, it really makes you wonder how a cult/ I mean club can have that much influence over someone's mind. It seems logical to think that they're drugging people or brainwashing them with a thing that goes "Wir wir". It's not normal for friends to get mad at friends over religion. Friends are supposed to laugh together about this kind of stuff.
You can't love life if you spend it hating the people who laugh at it. And if you don't love life, then well, you're in a shitty place.

I like how the kids stuck together and tried everything to bring back the Chef they knew. It made me think that Matt and Trey were going to try to stick by Isaac and try to pull him back into the friend zone. Then the bloody death made me think otherwise. O'well.

[Dave]

What i thought about last night as i watched it, what if the rumors that Hayes had nothing to do with the press release are true. I have to think that Matt and Trey at least tried to talk to him before this episode went to air. And i suppose that Chef can always come back from the "dark side" if he has to, and help "destroy" the emperor.

[phit_demon]

South Park's back baby, South Park's back!
Last night's ep was solid gold, it bodes very well for the season to come...that is if Scientologists don't assassinate Trey and Matt first.

[Matthew]

So, I just saw Isaac Hayes do a Lays Potato chip commercial... I wonder if how scientology freaks feel about that one...

[phit_demon]

Lays potato chips, as well as being low in fat, also contain engram reducing agents, thus helping you to become OT.
It's win-win really.

Ot??

I got bored a few weeks back when I should have been studying and did some research on the "religion".

I agree, but you never know who's reading.

[acid_soda]

I just saw a new episode 30 minutes ago...about hybrid cars...it was totally sweet...

[ratm1966]

Yeah, it was great. Especially their slams on that dumbass George Clooney.

[phit_demon]

Taken from www.southparkstudios.com
"Cartman and Kyle are at war over the popular cartoon, "Family Guy." Kyle loves "Family Guy" and hates Cartman. The two boys embark upon a mad chase across the country and the fate of "Family Guy" lies with the first boy to reach Hollywood."

Sounds like another classic.
I hope they rightfully put Family Guy in it's place, cos it just keeps getting worse and worse.
Not that it was all that hot to begin with though...

[By-tor]

I know on this site it's pretty much a given that most don't care for "Family Guy". But dammit, there's some pretty good laughs to be had. Most of the humor borders on "shock" value, cause I find myself asking my son if I just heard what I thought I heard. But really there are some funny lines in there. It ain't all crap. And I guess my crappy sense of humor appreciates a less refined comedy, sometimes. Okay, most the time.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Most of the humor borders on "shock" value, See, any time I watch it, I see a bunch of stuff that's supposed to be shocking but really isn't. And then...80's pop-culture reference for no reason.

At least the San Fransiscans smelling their own pretentious farts was central to the plot of South Park.

[By-tor]

Robbo, it's bullshit comedy. Hit and miss. Sometimes hit, sometimes miss. Don't tell me you ain't got chuckle outta some of it.

[jjcourtright]

That's my big problem with it, the lack of plot. Somebody tried to convince me that it's like a stand-up comedian - it doesn't need a plot. I don't buy it. They all know that I'm right but don't want to admit it.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Robbo, it's bullshit comedy. Hit and miss. Sometimes hit, sometimes miss. Don't tell me you ain't got chuckle outta some of it.I haven't. No chuckles, no titters, no snorts. However, one time I did say, "Oh, I get it. The baby uses a big word."

And JJ, a stand-up comic better have a plot these days if he's worth a damn.

[TLS]

I've seen Family Guy a few times. For me, the characters don't seem as funny as they they are annoying. That's also the reason I can't watch Mad TV. If a character is going to have aggravating traits, then there needs to be a balance between the two (funny and annoying) or else the character or show will fail to keep me entertained.
I know lots of people who like the show, and well, they must be doing something right to have so many viewers. I'll be damned if I ever figure out what it is, I guess I'm just not part of their target audience.

[By-tor]

I haven't. No chuckles, no titters, no snorts. Okay, Robbo, how many times have you watched a whole show. Once? Twice? Ever? I don't go out of my way to watch it, but if it's on and there isn't anything else on that sparks some interest, I'll watch it. The "flashbacks" are a part of the show that are quick and usually the funniest parts of each episode. Seriously, maybe it's like some albums that need a few listens before the appreciation sets in. Hell, I don't know. Sometimes I just like some silly inane crap. And I think Peter and family fit the bill. And Lois has a nice set of cartoon boobies. :D

[Robbo_the_Hood]

I've watched it plenty of times. I think I may have watched the entire second season, just because it was the only thing on and I thought I'd give a cartoon a shot. I even went out of my way to watch the lost episode, because I wanted to see the big deal. I didn't laugh once. It's not a funny show.

[acid_soda]

I must say, i saw the episode about an hour and a half ago with family guy..it was good, but i like the one with the hybrid cars better!

[Matthew]

I actually tried to like this show, I watched quite a few episodes, and the only time I chuckled (NOT laughed whole heartedly) is when that daughter got caught up with a group of lesbians who were singing "Elvira".

Most of the time I actually got pissed off while watching it, the writers learned nothing from Fibonacci, and to me the show is just tiring to view.

[Sheriff]

I just saw the episode where they rip on Family Guy, I thought it was pretty funny because they skewer FG with most of the comments that were made on this board. Parker and Stone seem to have more of an agenda and are kinda pissed this season, I just put my DVR to record it for a while.

As far as Family Guy goes, I didn't really like it when it first came out. I think that they put it after the Simpsons and that was a really bad idea. It needed it's own time space, even I can't take that much cartoons all in a row. I had the same complaint about Futurama (if I remember correctly it played on Tuesdays after Simpsons repeats).

I started watching FG when Cartoon network picked it up, then JJ ruined it for me when he described how the jokes worked. Now that is all I get hung up on, it is the same thing every episode, and now reminds me of Home Improvement as far as plot lines go. Oh well, FG is still kind of fun, Brian is funny, Stewie gets some good lines every couple episodes.

[Robbo_the_Hood]

Yeah, the South Park episode last night was great. When Cartman told Kyle, "Never compare me to Family Guy," you could tell that Parker and Stone get that whole, "You should like FG because your sense of humor are the same," all the time and that this was their response to it.

[jjcourtright]

I started watching FG when Cartoon network picked it up, then JJ ruined it for me when he described how the jokes worked.Turning people off of Family Guy one viewer at a time...

[phit_demon]

Turning people off of Family Guy one viewer at a time...
Not that I need a reason to hate it, but I would be interested to hear your theory.
To me, the show just feels wrong, I can't put my finger on why...


EDIT: Last night's episode rocked, the FG was so spot on.
I peed a little at the "Hey Brian, this is like that time I got a job as a carrot cake" line.

[jjcourtright]

Yeah, the South Park episode last night was great. When Cartman told Kyle, "Never compare me to Family Guy," you could tell that Parker and Stone get that whole, "You should like FG because your sense of humor are the same," all the time and that this was their response to it.Agreed. It had the makings of being one of the best South Parks, but it kind of ran out of steam. The Big Wheel chase scene went on too long. While it was totally predictable that after the "free speech" speech everybody would be down with burying their heads in the sand, it still made me laugh.

I'm thinking that maybe Trey and Matt are tapping into my brain as the only thing that irks me more than people who are all too willing to give up their rights in order to be protected from the bogeyma...I mean terrorists are people that like Family Guy.

Phit, here's what I posted about it earlier this week:
That's my big problem with it, the lack of plot. Somebody tried to convince me that it's like a stand-up comedian - it doesn't need a plot. I don't buy it. They all know that I'm right but don't want to admit it.
There needs to be some cohesiveness to the jokes. Otherwise I'm out.

[phit_demon]

Somebody tried to convince me that it's like a stand-up comedian - it doesn't need a plot.
Ah, I see. You're right, that's total crap.
So many people have jumped on the FG wagon of late round my way, some of them are even saying it's better than The Simpsons in it's heyday...which is just ridiculous.
The show has no heart, and the writers clearly don't care about their characters.

[Dave]

I laughed more at the Family Guy on South Park than i ever had during the real show. (it was the Knight Rider teeth thing). I tried explaining my disdain for the show to people at work, and you'd have thought i told them i thru a bag of puppies in the river! Some even went so far as to try to get me to admit that i just "don't get it" which is rediculas, since there is nothing to get.

I was watching Oberman (sp?) the other week (i think it was during the Chef/SP thing) and he had Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly on, and Keith was flabbergasted that Tucker gave Family Guy a bad review. It made me sad a little, and at the same time, restored my faith in humanity a little.

[karmattack]

I stand by Family Guy. I also make apologies for it. It's a little vapid and soulless sometimes, but it still makes me laugh. It's nowhere near the league of The Simpsons or South Park, but I still find humor in it.

[acid_soda]

i think the simpsons have gotten a tad lame over the years...

i liked futurama, and they're coming out with new episodes!!!

If I had any stitches I would have popped them I laughed so hard.
Trey & Matt have outdone themselves again.
The fight between Kyle and Cartman was priceless!

"Mmmm, yummy, yummy crap!"

[Robbo_the_Hood]

The banter between "Bort" and Cartman was great:

What's the worse thing you've done.

One time I stole a head off of a statue.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. One time a kid pissed me off, so I ground up his parents and made him eat them.

[BAMSS04]

Anyone actually think Comedy Central censored them?

[Dave]

I haven't seen the show, but considering the subject matter, i'll bet it was part of the joke.

[phit_demon]

Anyone actually think Comedy Central censored them?
I think so, because I remember them being asked years ago if there was anything they wouldn't do.
They said that they had planned to do an episode on Islamic fundamentalists (this was even before 9/11) and Comedy Central said they wouldn't allow them to do it as it would put their staff in serious danger, so they gave in.







**********SPOLIER ALERT**************
not that it really matters for 'Park, burranywayz(sic)...






If you think about it, they never actually said they would show an image of Mohammed, they just said that Family Guy would, which they did.
We just didn't get to see it.

[Omaru]

Wasn't he in that episode with god and buddha and some other deities (I forget the episode)

[phit_demon]

Wasn't he in that episode with god and buddha and some other deities (I forget the episode)
Hmm, you could be right.
It's the episode with David Blaine in it, I had totally forgotten about that.
He's part of the Super Best Friends:
http://www.electricferret.com/battle/contenders/con_SBF_1.jpg

I don't have that episode handy, so I can't confirm anything, but isn't he the one 3rd from the left?

I guess it's such an insignificant appearance that they let that slide, but they definitely did refuse to let T&M do an episode about Islam before.

[Dave]

I'm pretty sure that these last two episodes were about Radical Islam, what with all the Terrorist Videos and rioting Muslems.

[BAMSS04]

I donno but I was laughing so hard I cryed. I mean when they came on with the Terrence and Philip show again. I could just hear America Screaming NOOOOOOOO!!! DAMNIT NOT AGAIN!!!

It was funny though.

[Dave]

have they ever replayed "Not without my Anus"? In hind sight, that might turn out to be a good episode.

[phit_demon]

have they ever replayed "Not without my Anus"? In hind sight, that might turn out to be a good episode.
It's one of my all-time favourites.

"Say Terrance, let's look for Kraft dinner!"

[phit_demon]

I'm pretty sure that these last two episodes were about Radical Islam, what with all the Terrorist Videos and rioting Muslems.
True, but it was a more round-about way, as opposed to the direct way they wanted to do it a few years back.

Sorry about separate posts....I'm quite drunk.

[Omaru]

I can not watch not without my anus again (they haven't reshown it? it is on the season box set) because I don't find it funny, however I did enjoy the much hated Great Expectations episode with Pip.

And now I can't stop quoting "You think that's bad"

[Dave]

So it turns out Comedy Central did indeed puss out. and as much as i loath to agree with that Catholic Family guy, Matt and Trey are a little to blame. While the Jesus and Bush Crap thing will totally be taken out of context by Right Wing Talking Heads (already has been by Tucker Carlson). The episode does clearly illustrate how people will bow to Islam but you can have free reign to shit on any other religion. CC totally missed the point of the past two weeks episodes. Shame on them.

I take it back, I posted this on imdb and other posters made some points that muhamed is photoshopped from the super best friends since he's drawn in the South Park style and not how family guy would do it.
Oh well, it fooled me.

[acid_soda]

yeah CC brought this on themselves here...i mean, yeah, it shows jesus crapping on people...but [1] it was more stupid than political and [2] it was the mid-east retaliation to the now non-existant showing of the image of muhammed... which also kinda confused me because apparently, according to comedy central...show an image of president bush and jesus christ crapping on people...A-OKAY!! but showing a picture of muhammed just being himself...NO WAY! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! WE REFUSE TO SHOW AN IMAGE OF THAT!!! ARE YOU F**KING CRAZY?!?! CENSOR THAT PART ASAP!!!

dave was right...Comedy Central succeeded in missing the point of the entire cartoon

[By-tor]

O-fuckin'-kay. I ain't a religish(like that sp?) person. But there is no image on the Got-damn planet that should inspire that freakin' kind of attention. I mean how fucking ugly was the motherfucker to begin with. I'd be terribly ashamed if God didn't look like me when I was 28. You fuckers get away from the keyboard, there may be some lightning strikes up in here.

[phit_demon]

Here's a question:
Do you think they'll have the scene uncut on the DVD version, or will CC's lack of balls extend to that too?

[By-tor]

My freakin' Vahalla( if you haven't noticed I'm Norse). The whole world is in a fuckin' tizzy. How can we show a likeness of a prophet/god without......oh fuck it's just all fuckin' crazy!!!


This is exactly where me and religion start parting ways. I mean the Ten Commadents are the rules of life, but hell, it's really just common sense.

Looks like James Frey will be the next Trey & Matt victim:

A Million Little Fibers
"Towelie gets over his drug addition and writes a moving book about his experiences. Thanks to Oprah’s support, the book becomes a best seller and his story inspires millions to turn their lives around. However, when he’s caught in a lie by the grand dame of daytime television, Towelie’s old habits start to look might appealing."

Can't wait!

[phit_demon]

I hate to say it, but a think last night's ep was quite possibly the worst episode of South Park ever.
I laughed not once, and at times just felt embarrassed watching it.
Awful, awful, awful!

[FanGirl]

Cartman: "Towlie, you are the worst character ever."
Towlie: "I know."

One word: lockbox.

[DarthMaulRat]

This whole season seems to have gone down a peg in the humor department, but I wouldn't be suprised at all to see this being one of the highest rated seasons. With the Terry Schiavo episode winning an emmy, the show getting a Peabody Award, and all the water cooler talk I've heard about the Mohammad episode, South Park has really become appointment TV for those who want to stay "in the know".

At least that's my impression. Granted, where I work there is probably no one over 28, but every Thursday morning every one asks "did you watch last night?"

Oh, and what ever the show has lost in humor it has more than made up for in cleverness. Even the 'Mingy' episode has to be appreciated, if only for the fact that Matt and Trey had the balls to fill up 20 minutes with still shots of a crotch and two voices.

I swore I'd never watch the Million Little Fibers ep again, but I was forced to because my house mates hadn't seen it. I definitely enjoyed it more second time around. It's still bad, but I did like "Burn that which lies to Oprah".
Wednesday's episode was pure gold though, Cartman had me in convulsions.

Kyle: "Swim Cartman, kick with your legs."

Eric: "I can't swim, you just have to save me."

[acid_soda]

now it's a tossup between the Hybrid-owner-smells-his-own-farts episode or the al-gore-is-a-loser-manbearpig-cartman-crapping-treasure...

and it just so happens that both of those were PWNT by the new one with Cesar Millan...that dog whisperer guy.

I'm amazed how they didnt quite make fun of him...but they kind of made fun AT him...

TSST!
